Lessons Learned: Story Within a Story
Psalm 106 & Hebrews 12:1
August 17, 2025

Life is like a group project.

Psalm 106
1 Praise the Lord.Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise?

Psalm 106
3 Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.

Psalm 106
4 Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, 5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.

Your part in the story will become part of someone else’s story.

Psalm 106
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

Psalm 106
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

7... they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled...

Psalm 106
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.

Psalm 106
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.

Psalm 106
6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass. 21 They forgot the God who saved them...

Can this failed cosmic group project be turned around?

Psalm 106
44 Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; 45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.

Psalm 106
47 Save us, Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.

We are invited into a Holy Spirit infused group project.

Hebrews 11
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
